What I want to know is: why do men have such Christawful taste in alcohol? Grey Goose is not "the best vodka." Grey Goose tastes like water. If I wanted water, then I would ask you for a glass of water. Vodka should hurt.

Is everyone supposed to be amused by Disney princess pjs?

I didn't know we were supposed to have an opinion at all on kids pjs. If they fit, are comfortable, and aren't likely to light up like a fireball then they are ok by me.

...and it paved the way for today's female musicians. In a record store, I paused and only slowly passed the Tegan and Sara albums instead of rushing right by.Listened to Free to Be, etc... more than I care to admit.

I had this album when I was a kid, my mom bought it for me. My dad hated it, though, and we could only listen to it when he wasn't at home. Twenty-five years later, he cringes over my little boy wanting a play kitchen for Christmas, but he bought it anyway. Progress, I guess!

2 Hookers and an 8 Ball:Maybe I'm missing something here, but twice in that article they seemed to say that if a girl wanted to a be a princess, that's a bad thing. Why?

Because there is a shortage of wealthy princes available to rascal them and take them awry, and most of those are douchebags who will abandon them with no assets or job skills once they've had a kid or two. Because being a princess means being useless and not knowing how to take care of youself--princesses don't do icky things like change oil or balance checking accounts. Because every princess lives on the backs of at least 10,000 serfs. Because the world is too damn full of princess wannabes already.

Just remind him that once you're getting paid for it and famous, the kitchen is a man's place.

Guess it worked. My 12 year old son and friends are going to go as ML ponies...he chose Fluttershy. His dad (my ex) tried like hell to get him to change his mind, but he stuck to it and spent last night applying pink butterflies to a pair of yellow shorts he found at Goodwill. I have been enlisted as Derpy Hooves (I made paper bag footies while the shorts were being worked on). We also spent the majority of our crafting time talking about some chick named Emily he digs. It seems to really confuse his dad, that dress doesn't indicate sexual preference anymore, and everything is so fluid (can't think of a better term). As I live in the south, on the buckle of the bible belt...I find myself amazed and almost envious of how free these kids are. My little bro would have gotten his ass kicked for doing this. At school and at home. I told my kid so...it's important they know how far we've come...it seems that we are in danger of backsliding a lot these days.

This brings little tears to my eyes-- hope your son has a great time!

I think the thing that scares people like your ex more than anything else is that it actually might not be a big deal... That the world will not end... And that their lives may have been less rich by n

This. So much this. My son had his toe-nails done for a spa-day at his daycare a few months back, and I was pretty envious. Not to the degree that I went out and bought my own, but enough that I thought about how it would have caused scandal if it had been me as a child.
